ExpanDrive offers benefits for two kinds of situations:

1. Very convenient access to FTP and SFTP servers, to make them behave like a mounted drive.

2. Access to your cloud services without having the files saved on your computer locally. This is helpful for those with paid plans and just a lot of backups in the cloud, that i dont always want to sync, but still have available when i need it.

Im mainly interested in the second point and just cant recommend ExpanDrives because it didnt work well for me at all. the FIRST file i tried to add to my google drive made the finder freeze and i had to restart it. also trying to stream a video through ExpanDrive only worked with extreme stuttering. this experience represents the first 5 minutes i spend with the program. tried 2 things and 2 things failed.

And even if all of those things would work, I still find ExpanDrive utterly expensive. its a software that eliminates confusing option to make it as simple as possible. but as an app without many options for pro users, it feels way to expensive for consumers.
